While not strictly the strongest metal around, tungsten does have the noteworthy property of requiring a higher temperature to melt than any of its counterparts. Turning it to liquid requires that it is heated to a whopping 3,400 degrees Celsius.

Galvanisation Is Essential

For some metals that do corrode, galvanising them is a great way to protect the surface from oxidisation over time.

This process involves dipping metals like iron into zinc that has been heated until it is a liquid. Since zinc does not react with the moist air in the same way, it will lessen the chances of rust taking hold.

Sheet metals which have been galvanised are able to last a lot longer than those that have not, with this process helping to make modern cars especially resistant to oxidisation. This lowers maintenance costs, improves resale values and provides a wealth of benefits in a variety of other important everyday settings.
